Your Favorite Moon Songs

I'm doing a little research for my novel and I thought it might be fun to bring anyone in on it who would like to participate. I need to know your favorite moon songs- that is, songs about the moon. One of the characters is making a mixed CD of moon songs and while I won't be naming every song in the actual novel, I enjoy a well developed backstory.

"Moon River" by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer. From the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's - info and MP3 of Audrey Hepburn singing it (not a great rendition, but it's the one people first heard, I believe) www.reelclassics.com/Movies/Tiffanys/moonriver-lyrics.htm or look up Andy Williams crooning it on YouTube.

"The Killing Moon" By Echo & The Bunnymen"Who Killed Mr. Moonlight" By Bauhaus"Marquee Moon" By Television "Astronauts Have Landed On The Moon" By Dalek I Love You"Blood On The Moon" By Chrome"New Moon On Monday" By Duran Duran"Rok it to the Moon" By The Stranglers"No Moon" By Pete Shelley "Luna" By Smashing Pumpkins"Walking On The Moon" By The Police

Sorry for the late response but I just found this via Google. Am compiling a "moon" themed CD myself. So thanks!
